The updated Chosen First Name will be immediately displayed in Colleague and Self-Service.  D2L will be updated within a few hours.  Faculty and Staff updates in Outlook and Skype for Business will be reflected within a few days (due to software caching).  The update frequency for other systems will vary.  CougarMail display names are not currently being updated by this process.
